Mortgage Modification
Have you fallen behind on your mortgage payment or been granted a forbearance that is ending? You could qualify for a mortgage modification that restructures the original terms of your loan. Mortgage modifications can reduce the principal balance, extend the note, reduce the interest rate, or all the above. Modification programs differ among mortgage lenders. We will help you navigate the application process while holding the mortgage company accountable for the documents submitted.
If you owe back taxes to the Internal Revenue Service, filing for bankruptcy can in certain circumstances halt a tax levy and erase a tax debt. In facing the IRS, I can serve you in leveling the playing field and holding onto your assets to secure a fresh start.

Estate Planning
Everyone has an estate. The estate is made up of everything you own. Wills transfer assets upon your death. A Will is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. A Trust allows you more control over your estate than a typical Will by allowing you to decide how and when your assets are to be distributed. Trusts are recommended when the beneficiaries are children or young adults. We’ll work closely with you to create the right estate plan for your family.

Probate
A good estate plan should focus on avoiding the probate process. However, you may be required to probate a loved one’s Will. We can help you navigate the probate process so you can focus on your family’s needs.
